funny beyond belief with some fantastic acting

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2006)

this film rates in my books as a film that would be, possibly if not certainly, a future classic. this film is one of the most amazingly memorable films i have ever seen if a film can make you laugh and cry all in one hour it certainly passes my criteria with honours. however i did find some scenes just empty with nothing to them. in the way of production it probably rivals the titanic this film contains some fantastic scenes, the most enjoyable was the scene in the storm with the piano. just hilarious. i don't know why people dis-regard it so much. some scenes pull on the heart-strings, though it may down grade the movie a bit. but even with some weird scenes it is still a very good film worthy of an Oscar any day. i believe it shows sometimes even if you live life to the maximum and make the most of it, it will all fall down on you. friendships will be broken love lives will be lost and the most precious gift you can have, life, will be stolen. if there was a movie that simplifies friendship and life this would probably be it. In my mind of all the films i have seen this one certainly is a real gem.
